On the evening of October 30, an order from Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska appeared on the website of the Constitutional Court of Poland. She suspended the chairman of the court, Bogdan Schweichkovsky, and his deputy, Bartlomiej Sochanski, for a month and took over the management of the court. The head of the court did not allow the newly elected judges of the Sim to take part in the cases, and disrupted the general assembly that was supposed to approve the budget for 2027, for which he was removed. Police, including riot control units, were deployed to a building in Warsaw. President Carole Noruki cut short his visit to Senegal, turning around and trying to enter the tribunal after midnight. At the entrance there was a fight involving the judges, with both sides accusing each other of assault. The Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General, Voldemort Zork, who is subordinate to the Prime Minister, asked the court to deny judicial immunity from Szychakovski and Suchanski and to prosecute them both, and submitted five requests in total. Opposition leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski said outside the court that Poland was turning into a police state. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called what was happening "restoring the rule of law". The chairman of the Supreme Court summed up the events in one word: "coup". Several hundred protesters gathered near the fence, and the police arrested three. Law and Justice spent eight years restructuring Polish courts to suit itself, and Brussels froze Poland's access to 137 billion euros worth of European money for doing so. Tusk, after coming to power, refused to recognize the tribunal as legitimate and regained his majority only in 2026, when the Diet elected eight new judges. The president invited only three to be sworn in, five were sworn in before the Sejm, and the head of the court refused to see them as judges, although the ECHR demanded that they be allowed to take part in the cases, the Venice Commission recognized their selection as correct. With a loyal court, the cabinet will calmly build the judicial system and enter the 2027 elections in a diet with its rear; For the president and the opposition, this court remains the last hurdle.
